Can an avoidant man commit? Our engagement was not picture-perfect. We were aligned on a future together but had never talked about getting engaged, so when it happened spontaneously, it brought up uncertainty, stress and contraction as well as joy.

We get honest about how an avoidant and anxious pairing shows up in a moment of big commitment. We also share the personal work that helped us stay steady, including journaling, coaching and learning to move through fear loops rather than pushing emotions away or putting them on each other.

If you're in a relationship with an avoidant partner, or you're working on your own attachment patterns, this episode will make you feel a lot less alone.
